The government has announced a major initiative to bolster border security by requiring the installation of biometric machines at all airports nationwide. This new policy mandates biometric verification for all international passengers.
Biometric Technology as a Key Security Measure
The Interior Ministry stated that implementing biometric technology will significantly aid in preventing wanted suspects from traveling in and out of the country. The biometric machines will be set up at international immigration counters, where travelers will undergo verification prior to boarding their flights.
Effective Screening and International Compliance
Ministry officials noted that biometric verification will enable more effective screening of passengers and is part of a larger effort to align the country’s security systems with international standards. The Interior Ministry has instructed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to implement these changes promptly.
